CVEEN 7920: Carbon Capture and Storage Wednesday, 20 October 2010 Topic: Solving PDE’s (solutions to mathematical models)
Models of CCS = Models of Fluid Flow & Other Processes • Reprise: the continuity equation and groundwater (fluid) flow equation. • What do you need to solve the groundwater flow equation? • Taylor Series - the backbone of the FDM • Building an FDM Approximation
Groundwater Flow Equation Left side of continuity equation has q, this is driven by Let’s try to relate the left side to h Assume the axes of are parallel to x,y,z Then If K axes not aligned with x, y, z, then we must use
Groundwater Flow Equation Possible combinations of (in)homogeneity and (an)isotropicity (Freeze and Cherry, 1979)
Groundwater Flow Equation heterogeneous, anisotropic medium heterogeneous, anisotropic media heterogeneous, anisotropic media heterogeneous, anisotropic media
Groundwater Flow Equation All transient conditions: heterogeneous, anisotropic medium heterogeneous, isotropic media homogeneous, anisotropic media homogeneous, isotropic media
Groundwater Flow Equation homogeneous, isotropic, steady-state
Models of CCS = Models of Fluid Flow & Other Processes • Reprise: the continuity equation and groundwater (fluid) flow equation. • What do you need to solve the groundwater flow equation? • Taylor Series - the backbone of the FDM • Building an FDM Approximation
Solving the Groundwater Flow Equation Three primary approaches: (1) Analytical (applied more often than you might think) (2) Graphical (flow nets) (3) Numerical (most common)
Solving the Groundwater Flow Equation The ‘Boundary Value Problem’ (BVP): Governing equation 2) Region of flow (e.g., geometry, dimensions, etc.) Material properties, or parameterization Boundary conditions Initial conditions (transient problems) Method of solution
